Cloud Gaming: Future of Computer Games

Abstract

Cloud gaming also referred to as gaming as-a-service or gaming on demand is an ecosystem in  which any heavy game program executes upon a highly  resourceful computer called as server and that is streamed  upon a less resourceful device using light software (which  enables user to interact with the game). This is the basic  functionality of cloud gaming. Unlike traditional gaming,  where the games are stored and executed on the local  machine and the user plays by using some peripherals  like mouse, keyboard, monitor, etc. In cloud gaming there  is no need of storing the games on your system and use  heavy hardware to make things run smooth.[1].

 In this research paper we will understand that is what is  cloud gaming? Is it something capable of changing the  whole gaming industry? And can it reach to every single  gamer in an effective and efficient way.
